I don't normally like to say this equipment that equipment is over price, but I think this may be the first time.
More than likely a lot of money is royalty to Blue Note for so many artists features.
Pretty sure that they did some marketing and it will be sold out soon.

Lol... That's absolutely insane. I wonder who will be first to purchase this here???

Not me, it's absolutely not expensive enough.

Plus iems what do you think? Safe?

This converter not really useful. Don't waste $$$$ on that.

the LSO edition ak240 was sold at RRP £2200 a while back.  There are only two of those in the entire world.

There's one born every minute, and A&K know it

Is there any general consensus, yet, on whether the RWA mod is a worthwhile venture for AK240 owners?

I like it, but there is no consensus. First of all, it is a matter of pairing to a certain extent. Besides, few people have compared before and after.

What about runtime? What with running the amp stage in pure class A, I would anticipate reduced runtime.

I haven't counted, but good enough for long flights or train rides and much better than my 901.

Hey AK240 owners wanted to check if you experience the same things (1.15)
 
1. You get an error message when playing files on SD via folder navigation
2. All three side buttons have the same height - while on my AK120 the middle button sticks out a bit more, making it easier to know what you are pressing
3. There a little pop sound when you skip tracks
4. This gadget sounds awesome

1. I put all my music on SD card and nope, haven't experienced that. That said, the UI is apparently not perfect - I have seen the indicator pointing at a different track before, e.g. I was playing track 1 and it was pointing at track 2 on the screen of song list view. Happens once in a blue moon, though. I'm talking about 1.15 too btw
2. Yes they do. I don't recall AK120 having different heights but I probably just didn't notice
3. Nope
4. Of course

 

[laurencewayne]

1. No
2. Yes
3. No
4. Absolutely!
